Renowned International Matchmaker/Agent Sampson Lewkowicz has joined forces with well known USVI figure Mrs.Lesley Comissiong in forming 340 Promotion

St.Thomas USVI- At a press conference held at the Holiday Inn St. Thomas, it was announced that renowned International Matchmaker/Agent Sampson Lewkowicz has joined forces with well known USVI figure Mrs.Lesley Comissiong in forming 340 Promotions.

The company has already signed a deal to stage events in St. Thomas on the last Saturday of every month during 2009 with its first show scheduled for the 31st of January marking the return of pro-boxing to the Virgin Islands after a 5 year hiatus. Coors Light has jumped on board as a sponsor with several others to follow.

The inaugural show has been dubbed as "The Class of 2008" will feature the professional debut of USVI Olympic representatives Junior Middleweight John Jackson and middleweight Julius Jackson, the sons of former 3 time world champion Julian "The Hawk" Jackson, as well as 2 other Olympians. Also scheduled will be middleweight Samuel Rogers, nephew of Jackson , who will be making his professional debut as well. Headlining this card will be rising Dominican prospect Victor "Mermelada" Cayo 17-0 12 KO's.

When asked how he feels about his son's accomplishments in boxing and their pro debuts, Julian Jackson, said "I am so proud that words can not express how I feel. To be a part of this and in their corner is a tremendous honor money can not replace the feelings that I have".

Also coming on board to co-promote the event will be Seminole Warriors Boxing, one of the premier names in boxing promotion today and home to such superstars as Glen Johnson, Edison Miranda, Raul Marquez, Joe Greene, and Juan Urango.

Present at this press conference was the President of the USVI Amateur Boxing Federation Mr. Jose "Tony" Rosario whom Lewkowicz credits with the present state of Amateur Boxing in the USVI and has pledged his support in the form of staging Pro-Am shows featuring local amateurs who will gain valuable experience and help in making the USVI a international power as well as establishing "Operation London 2012" with the objective being a first ever Olympic Boxing medal for the USVI.

While details for this show are still being negotiated the full lineup, time and location of the matches will be announced shortly by the promoters. Matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz has promised that this will be a "night to remember" and plans on making St. Thomas "the Las Vegas of the Caribbean " in the boxing world.

"I plan on putting St. Thomas back on the map in the sport of boxing" Lewkowicz said.

Lewkowicz is close to a deal with two more Olympians. The names will be revealed in the coming days when the terms are finalized. In spite of entering the promotional ranks, Lewkowicz says the new company will not interrupt any of his duties as an International Matchmaker and agent.
